Chapter 550: You can’t pretend anything, but you have to pretend
night.
Under the old Zhangbei City Gate.
Su Ling was already feeling sleepy. Even if he kept drinking tea, he could not resist the overwhelming sleepiness.
Is that person coming yet? I have been waiting all night, and it is almost five o'clock in the morning. Not to mention that the person has not arrived yet, there is not even a ghost under the North City Gate.
If you really don’t come, you’ve tricked me!
A stupid wife is waiting for a languid man. If this spreads out, where can I put my old face?
Don't sleep, don't sleep...
The more he thought about it, the sleepier he became, and soon he fell asleep.
I don't know how much time passed, but Su Ling was suddenly awakened by a harsh warning sound from the war horn.
Before he could figure out what was going on, countless guards shouted in panic: "The enemy is attacking——", "The enemy is attacking——", "Hurry up and defend!"
Su Ling suddenly lost all sleepiness. He thought to himself that the wait was finally here.
Thinking about it, he jumped off the chair and took a few steps forward. He saw a guard running with his feet flying, sweating profusely, and a look of panic on his face: "Su Changshi! The enemy is attacking! There are quite a lot of people there.
!”
Su Ling said calmly: "Why are you panicking? How many people are there?"
"I don't know, but I think there are probably two to three thousand people!"
Wucao! Is there such a big battle? They are not really going to attack the city. If this is true, then I have made a big mistake.
Su Ling asked anxiously: "Can you clearly see who the invading enemy general is?"
The guard hurriedly said: "I saw only two flags displayed, namely Zhang and Zang! Please ask Su Changshi for instructions. Do you want to report to the lord urgently and mobilize troops and horses to defend the city?"
After listening to this, Su Ling felt at ease. It seemed that he couldn't be wrong. As long as it was the flag of Second General Zhang Zang, it would be exactly what he thought.
Is there any big discrepancy?
He pretended to be calm, glanced at the guard, and said calmly: "It's just a defeated general under my command, and there are only two or three thousand people, so why are you panicking? You don't need to report it to the Prime Minister, I can handle it myself!"
The guard looked surprised and said: "Su Changshi, although our city is strong, there are only more than a hundred brothers defending the city. How can we withstand so many enemy soldiers! I think it is best to report to the lord as soon as possible!"
Su Ling glared at him and said, "If I say no, then I won't use it. Why are you making so much noise! The mountain people have their own tricks to defeat the enemy!"
The guard was a little stupid, but still asked uneasily: "The thieves are powerful, but I don't know if Su Changshi has any way to defeat the enemy!"
Su Ling pointed to his mouth calmly, and said calmly with a fake look: "With Su's fleshy tongue, it can be said that one hundred thousand troops can be retreated, and only two or three thousand people are not enough for me to spit.
! Come on, open the city gate, and I will go forward to meet the enemy, one man and one horse!"
The guard looked helpless and thought to himself, Commander Shi Ba Cheng took the wrong medicine today and went to fight Zhang Buyi and Zang Xuanba alone?
Crazy?
Not to mention whether he is the opponent of these two generals, the two to three thousand tiger and wolf soldiers behind him, one charge, he, Chang Shi, really becomes a piece of shit...
Especially when he heard that Su Ling wanted to open the city gate, didn't this mean that he didn't resist and allowed thousands of people to come in?
The guards were hesitant. Su Ling glared and said, "What, my words don't work? Do I want to beat you up again?"
How could these guards forget that a few days ago, Su Changshi went crazy and killed them in front of the Prime Minister and the two generals Xu and Xia?
The guard beat him till his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. If he really didn't open the city gate, he would inevitably get beaten.
Pull him down, pull him down, he is going out of the city alone anyway, no matter what our business is, if he dies, we will close the city gate immediately.
The Prime Minister smells that he is seeking death himself, why do I care?
Thinking of this, the guards all shouted: "Su Changshi has an order! Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"
Anyway, everyone has heard it. The city gate that Su Ling gave way has nothing to do with us.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak... bang, squeak, squeak!"
The drawbridge was lowered and the city gate opened wide.
At the moment when the suspension bridge was lowered, I looked at Su Ling's white robe, white armor, and white horse. With a flash of white light, he left the city at lightning speed and stood in front of the formation.
After a while, the two or three thousand enemy siege soldiers also rushed to the city.
The first two generals were Zhang Wuyi and Zang Xuanba.
One man and one horse can fight against thousands of thieves alone.
Su Ling sat firmly on the horse, smiling but not smiling, with a calm expression.
That stern look is really a bit intimidating.
Zhang Chunyi, the leader, had a gleam in his eyes and said secretly, Su Ling was so brave, he actually came forward one man and one horse, with the city gate behind him open, and there were only a few hundred people guarding the city.
If I order a rapid attack at this time, I will definitely capture the old Zhangzhou.
But he suddenly felt a great sense of powerlessness in his heart.
After capturing Jiuzhang, what next? So what?
Can Shen Jizhou let me go?
Stop it!
Zhang Buyi shook his head vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xuanba, hold on, I'll go meet him for a while!"
After saying that, Zhang Chunyi gently lifted the war horse and stepped forward. The war horse slowly walked forward, about four or five feet away from Su Ling, and then slowly stopped.
Su Ling smiled half-heartedly, then saw that it was really Zhang Du
Then Wu Yi calmly clasped his fists on his horse and said, "General Ban Yi, we meet again so soon. Stay safe!"
Zhang Chuyi also cupped his fists lightly and said: "Fate has its way with people, and things are unpredictable... Su Ling, I never thought that we would meet so soon, but Zhang had a question...
..."
Su Ling made a request and said: "General Ban Yi, please ask! Su will definitely tell the truth!"
Zhang Chunyi nodded and said: "I wonder if what Su Changshi said can still be counted in the dense forest today?"
Su Ling's heart moved and she said: "Naturally count, don't say tonight, even tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will still count!"
Zhang Chunyi nodded as if with deep meaning and said: "In that case, Zhang will stop talking nonsense. Su Ling, let's take action!"
Su Ling raised his head and laughed and said, "Okay, I'm about to learn General Wu Yi's clever move!"
As he spoke, he urged the war horse, which neighed loudly.
Looking at Su Ling, he suddenly pulled out the seven-star sword from behind, slapped his horse and danced with the sword towards Zhang Wuyi.
Zhang Chuyi didn't panic. When Su Ling was no more than two feet away, he scolded coldly: "Well done!"
Speaking of swords, he swung the long sword forward in his hand, and the two of them started fighting under the city.
Let's talk about the hundreds of guards on the old Zhang City. Some of them were standing on the top of the city and some of them were standing at the city gate. They were all holding spears and spears and were waiting in full formation. They even looked at the place where the two generals were fighting.
The two generals and the horses come and go. After a chess fight, you will meet your opponent and you will meet a good talent.
The guards' hearts were in their throats. Although Su Ling was seeking death himself, if he did die, he was someone the Prime Minister relied on, and they themselves were not good either.
Therefore, every guard recited Buddha's name in his heart.
Zu bless you, please don't let anything happen to you.
The captain of the guard even ordered the guards on the city to beat drums in support.
However, as soon as the drum was beaten, something changed on the battlefield.
In the eyes of the guards, Su Ling slashed at Zhang Wuyi's neck with his sword. Zhang Wuyi did not dodge, but when he saw the blade coming, he suddenly used his big sword to push Su Ling's seven-star sword away.
At this moment, the two horses pedaled wrongly.
Then Zhang Wuyi shouted loudly: "Su Ling, you are captured by me!"
Look at him lightly stretching his arms again, and a thick and powerful arm attacks Su Ling like a vine.
Su Ling couldn't dodge, and only heard a bang. Zhang Wuyi's hands like eagle claws were grabbing Su Ling's belt tightly.
"Come here!"
Zhang Buyi roared loudly and exerted force on his arms and hands.
Su Ling, who was on the horse, suddenly felt an irresistible strange force that lifted him up from the horse in an instant.
Su Ling's face changed drastically, and he yelled: "It's over, labor and management are going to blow out the lamp and pull out the wax!"
Before he finished speaking, his whole body was already trapped under Zhang Buyi, completely restrained and unable to move.
Even so, Su Ling still cursed: "Damn it! Zhang Buyi, you cheated. You didn't promise to use swords and guns. Why did you do it! The labor and management were fooled!"
Zhang Chunyi sneered, turned his horse around, came to Zang Xuanba, and with a sudden force, he lifted Su Ling into the air like a chicken.
Then, he threw it towards the ground and shouted in a cold voice: "Left and right, tied up!"
Su Ling hiccupped as she was thrown and rolled her eyes.
Just as he was about to struggle to get up, the soldiers who came over stepped on his waist, almost causing him to stumble.
"You idiot, please be gentle! If you step on labor and capital again, you'll be fine."
He was killed on the spot!" Su Ling grinned.
But he couldn't help himself and was stepped on. He took some hemp rope and tied him up tightly.
Besides, the Jiuzhang guards above and below the city could see each and every one of them clearly.
"Wow--" There was a moment of chaos.
"Su Changshi was captured alive by the enemy! Something bad has happened!"
"Close the city gate quickly! Close the city gate quickly..."
The guards below the city retreated desperately, while the guards above the city desperately pulled up the rope and closed the drawbridge. The guards at the city gate used all their strength to close the city gate quickly.
At this moment, Zhang Kuanyi pointed his sword at the sky and roared: "Soldiers, kill! This is the time to capture Jiuzhang!"
"Kill--!"
People yelled, "horses neigh." Zhang Chunyi took the lead, and behind him, Zang Xuanba commanded the soldiers to rush towards the old Zhang city gate like a tide.
"Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows! Stop them!"
"Squeaks -stretch--"
The bowstring sounded, and the arrows shot out like rain.
Under the cover of the rain of arrows, Zhang Wuyi's men and horses were slightly hindered from charging into the formation.
The suspension bridge and the city gate were completely retracted and closed when Zhang Buyi's men and horses rushed to the front.
Zhang Chuyi still refused to give up and shouted: "Capture the city gate for me! Don't retreat!"
He attacked again fiercely, but was helpless. The troops he led were all light cavalry, and there were almost no siege equipment.
Zhang Chuyi saw that it was difficult to capture the city. If he delayed any longer and Xiao Yuanche's army arrived, the situation would be unfavorable to him.
He then pulled Zang Xuanba and said: "Xuanba, withdraw. Although we have not captured Jiuzhang, we can still give the lord an explanation by taking Su Ling!"
Zang Xuanba nodded and said, "Brother Ban Yi has the final say!"
"receive
Soldiers, return to camp!"
After giving the order, Zhang Chunyi and Zang Xuanba's men and horses, like a strong wind, withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the camp in a hurry.
After a long time, the guards who were huddled under the battlements were able to poke their heads out.
At a glance, except for some corpses of enemy soldiers scattered under the city, the surroundings were quiet, as if they were in a dream. There was no trace of Zhang Wuyi anywhere.
When the captain of the guard was still in shock, the guard on the side said urgently: "Sir! Go and report to the Prime Minister. Su Changshi was captured alive and trapped in the Shen thief's camp! Let's see what the Prime Minister can do to rescue him!"
A word awakened the dreamer, and the guard's hair and color changed, as if he were mourning for a heir, and he shouted sternly: "Hurry up! Help me to see the lord! Hurry up!"
At this time, his whole body was paralyzed and he could not stand up.
The one who was captured was Su Ling! The lord’s red-hot confidant.
If the Prime Minister gets angry and kills all nine of our clans...
What a shame! Su Changshi, you said you were pretending to be something bad, but you pretended to be X. This is a great pretense!
The guard chief didn't dare to think about it anymore. He was held up by several guards and hurriedly went to report the news to the Prime Minister's residence.
